all evil in the world. It uses incarnate evil to deceive and corrupt mankind from the beginning. Its corruption lies
in fleshly desires, sensuality and pride. It deceives man in believing there is no spiritual world or God, but only

1 John 3:4 “Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.”
1 John 3:9-10 “No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he
cannot sin, because he is born of God.”
10 “By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not
practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.”
